Call Text presentation RA topicForce Protection and Soldier Systems
Research in Technology and products in the context of Force protection and Soldier Systems
www.eda.europa.eu3
Interoperability
• Vehicle, infrastructure and soldier systems open standards
• Enable:
• Effectiveness
• Adaptability to mission profile
• Maintaining state of the art
• Reducing life cycle, logistic and human resource footprint
Safety of military personnel
• Individual ballistic protection still essential
• Main challenges:
• Weight reduction
• Inflexibility to better fit differences in anatomy
• Protection against kinetic threats only
• Current technology based on fibre technology and hard plate technology
• New solutions e,g. shearthickening fluid known but not yet fully implemented
Survivability
• Strong civilian development of technologies in visual appearance however not suitable for military applications
• Increase of sophistication in advanced sensors systems
• No solutions available for longer (invisible) wavelength
• Need for research in adaptive materials, structure and components in short wave infra red, thermal infrared and radar
Specific ChallengeForce protection and advanced soldier systems beyond current programmes
www.eda.europa.eu4
Ready for standardization
Comprehensive coverage: group, squad, multi-national, vehicle, etc.
Architectural domains: Electronics; Voice and data communication; Software; Human interfaces devices; Effectors
Technical validation
Build on resent results from EDA and NATO
Scope: Generic open system architecture
Sub-topic (a)
Force protection and advanced soldier systems beyond current programmes
www.eda.europa.eu5
Scope: Tailor-made blast, ballistic and CBRN protection of military personnel
• Light weight ballistic and blasting protection with 20% reduction
• Effective dissipation of energy and body protected zones
• Explore integrate CBRN detection and/or protection
• Flexibility and modularity
• Advancement in manufacturing
Sub-topic (b)
Force protection and advanced soldier systems beyond current programmes
www.eda.europa.eu6
Scope: Adaptive camouflage
• Active and passive camouflage methods rapidly reconfigure or change to surrounding
• Active against variety of present and future threats from advanced sensors systems and observation means
Sub-topic (c)
Force protection and advanced soldier systems beyond current programmes
www.eda.europa.eu7
The proposals
• The implementation of these topics are intended to:
- Focus on TRL 2 to 3 for topic (a)
- Focus on TRL 2 to 4/5 for topics (b) and (c).
• 2017 Budget - 6.78 M€

MAIN OBJECTIVE
Development of a CBRN suit
integrated system able to detect
and quantify the concentration of
warfare agents
MILITARY BENEFITS
- Quantification of warfare
agent concentrations.
- Determination of security
level for military.
- Prevention of warfare agent
saturation in the CBRN
- Remote monitoring from the
military base of the exposure
to warfare agents and
environmental conditions.
- “Self-cleaning” CBRN suit by
photo-degradation of warfare
agents.
FINAL SOLUTION
PROSAFE – Next Generatoin of Protection Garments Against Warfare Agents
www.eda.europa.eu15
MAIN OBJECTIVE
Development of a CBRN suit
that can be switched from a
permeable low burden mode to
an impermeable CBRN
protective mode on demand
MILITARY BENEFITS
Combines advantages of
permeable and impermeable
CBRN protection
Low physiological burden
High air permeability
Stand-by CBRN protection
for whole-day wearing
Quick response to CBRN /
TIC threat
2 minutes switching time
from permeable to
impermeable
Low energy consumption /
portable energy supply
FINAL SOLUTION
12 sections cooling unitmembraneThermally conductive metal framecontrol electronics
Switching Module
SWITCHPROTECT: Low Burden Individual Protective Equipment with Adaptive Protection
